KVC Health Systems
KVC Health Systems, Inc. (KVC) is a private, nonprofit child welfare and behavioral healthcare organization. When Kansas became the first U.S. state to privatize its child welfare services in 1996, it selected KVC Health Systems to be one of the service providers. As of 2013, KVC Health Systems remains the only original contractor that is still providing these services. KVC Health Systems has provided foster care case management services longer than any other private organization in the U.S.
Since its founding in 1970, KVC has grown since from a single home for at-risk boys in Kansas to a national organization serving 25,000 children and their families in the United States. KVC’s evidence-based research to achieve better outcomes and advance child welfare led to the Annie E. Casey Foundation endorsing KVC as a national best-practice organization.
== History ==
What is now KVC Health Systems started in 1970 as Wyandotte House in Wyandotte County, Kansas. B. Wayne Sims was hired in 1980 as President and CEO. He contributed some of the organization's guiding philosophies including, “What would you want for your child?” and “There is no magic answer down the street." As of 2013, Wayne Sims remains the President and CEO of the organization with 33 years on the job.
When the state of Kansas became the first state to privatize child welfare services in 1996, KVC was selected as one of the contractors. In 2013, KVC Health Systems remains the only original contractor in the state. On July 1, 2013, the Kansas Department of Children and Families awarded KVC an expanded contract, making KVC responsible for children needing foster care in 30 counties of eastern Kansas. These services are provided through subsidiary KVC Kansas, also known as KVC Behavioral HealthCare. An August 2013 visit to Kansas by a delegation from Singapore's government attests to KVC's success in improving outcomes for vulnerable children.
